Forgotten; Worshipped (Imported from Ao3)

It was an opportunity to visit Thomas again anyway, so he took it and left the palace for the day. He immediately let his winds carry him upwards to the sun. Thomas must have noticed or seen him because he opened the back of the sun slightly and Alexander easily flew inside. It was blindingly bright from the outside but only moderately bright from the inside and he found Thomas in the dead centre of it, directing the sun forward. Alexander grinned evilly and sneakily floated upwards behind Thomas. Then he jumped on him and hugged him from behind and Thomas yelped loudly and fell over with Alexander on top of him, giggling madly.

"Alexander!" Thomas yelped and hearing his name out of Thomas' mouth excited Alexander extremely.

"Thomas!" he yelled back happily.

"What are you doing here, Alexander? I couldn't find you for over two weeks! Where were you?" Thomas asked and Alexander floated over him, letting him get up, but immediately hugged him once he did.

"Aaron and I couldn't let go of each other. We weren't near each other for three full days, imagine that!" Alexander exclaimed.

"So? Can you not stay away from each other for more than a few hours?" Thomas asked, some disdain filling his voice.

"Do I hear jealousy in that voice of yours, Thomas?" Alexander grinned and jumped upwards and floated there as Thomas looked at him with surprise and shock.

"What? No! What would I be jealous of?" he asked incredulously with wide eyes.

"Me? Aaron? You're jealous of one of us, I can tell. Either me for hanging out with Aaron all the time or him for hanging out with me all the time. Oh, or maybe both of us? What are you jealous of Thomas? Tell me your secrets!" Alexander grinned brightly at him and Thomas frowned.

"I'm not jealous of anyone, Alexander!" Thomas yelled aggressively and Alexander just snorted.

"Suuuuure you're not. Buuuuut, anyway! Whatcha doing!" he grinned at him.

"Um..." he pointed at the clear part of his sun out of which he could look, "I'm directing the sun?"

"Oh yeah, you do that, I forgot... Wanna do something else?" he asked and poked Thomas' cheek.

'Wanna do something else', Thomas remembered those words and how many times these exact words had gotten him and Alexander into great trouble with the other gods.

"I kind of have to stay here to direct the sun, you know," Thomas countered and Alexander pouted.

"I remember way back when, when you would jump and flip at the opportunity to get out of work. What happened?" Alexander asked with the biggest pout Thomas had ever seen on him or another.

"You died, you know. And... After you died, I kinda... I kinda never left the sun during the day..." Thomas admitted with a frown.

"Well, then you need to get out more! Come on! I know that you can leave the sun to move on its own with one steady spell, you have no excuse not to come with me!" Alexander exclaimed.

"But-" Thomas tried.

"No butts! Unless you want it kicked out of the sun if I have to!" Alexander grinned.

"You cannot kick my butt, Alexander, and you know it," Thomas snorted.

Suddenly, the winds picked up drastically around Thomas and forced him upwards and beat him around and down towards the exit of the sun which suddenly opened without Thomas making it and he was pushed outside by the winds with a loud yelp. Alexander laughed and giggled maniacally and flew after him and closed the sun again with a yellow glow coming from his hand then subsiding as he caught up with Thomas falling.
